Metal Gear Solid 4 Trailer Coming Home

Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence already has enough bonus content to ensure purchase by even those who cleared MGS3 when it saw release last year. But Konami and Kojima Productions have decided to add a bit more insurance, in the form of a trailer for a certain Metal Gear Solid 4.

A pamphlet handed out at the PlayStation-sponsored Akihabara Entertainment Festival in Tokyo (we've scanned the pamphlet... see below) reveals that the Japanese version of Subsistence will include a video of Metal Gear Solid 4. The pamphlet doesn't make clear if the included video will be the Tokyo Game Show trailer or something new, but seeing as how a high resolution version of the trailer has yet to make its way onto the internet, the former seems likely.

The trailer will be included on the third disk in the Subsistence package, known as "Existence." This disk, which also includes a three and a half hour edit of MGS3's cinematic scenes for those who are too weak-sauce to work through the full game in order to experience the storyline, is only included in the first run of the game and in the special head set bundle, so those wanting to make sure they get a glimpse at MGS4 will want to pick up one of these two versions. Subsistence is set for Japanese release on 12/22 of this year.

There's no word yet on the possibility of this awesome bonus being included with the US version of Subsistence, which isn't scheduled for release until the first quarter of 2006. We'll let you know once Konami starts talking.
